I claim:

l. A self-draining oil can, comprising a container, an inwardly curvedbottom member disposed above the base of the container` a handlesecuredto the member and located Within the base, a neck for the containerterminating in a mouth,. a detachable top telescopically engageable withthe neck, a laterally projecting rim lfor the top, an annular memberlocated within the neck and extending circumferentially thereof, havingone end disposed adjacent thecontainer, its other end being reduced indiameter and extending within said top" when the top is in closedposition, said member being apertured to provide a discharge port foroil.

2. A self-draining oil can, comprising a container, a neck for thecontainer terminat ing in a mouth, a 'combined top Iand drainagereceptacleforJ the container telescopically engageable with the neck, anannular member located within the neck and extending circumferentiallythereof, one end of said member y communicating with" therrcfontainerand the other end reduced in diameterand extending within the top whenlthe top is in closed position, said member being `apertured toprovide adischarge port for oil.

3. A self-draining oil can, comprising a body portion, a neckterminating in a mouth, a top slidably engaged within the neck, anannular member secured within the neck, having anend portion projectinginto and disposed in spaced relation with the top when said top is `inclosed position, and ya' .drainage port in the member.,l said memberybeing adapted to drain oil from the body portlon into the top when thecan is in an inverted position, and to receive and drain oil from saidtop into the body portion when the can is in an upright position.

4. .In a self-draining oil can having a body portion, a neck portionterminating in a lmouth, and a top telescopically engageable with theneck and mouth, ian annular member `fixedly secured within the neck andadjacent the body portion, the same being inwardly beveled at its enddisposed adjacent the body portion, its other end being reduced indiameter and extending within said top when the top is in closedposition, and a discharge port for oil in the member, said memberadapted to drain oil from the body portioninto the top when the can isin an inverted position, and to receive and drain oil from said top intothe body portion when the can is in an upright position.

5. In a self-draining oilcan having a body portion, a neck portion and adetachable top telescopically engageable with the neck portion, anannular member lixedly secured within the neck, having an end portionreduced in diameter and projecting into and spaced away from the topwhen said top is in closed position, said member being adapted to drainoil from the body portion into the top when the can is inverted and toprovide, in cooperation with the surface of the neck adjacent said endportion, a drainage receptacle for the top when the can is upright, themember being apertured to afford a port for discharging oil from thereceptacle into the body portion.

6. In a self-draining oil can having a body portion, a neck portion anda detachable top telescopically engageable with the neck portion, amember secured to the neck portion and projecting into and spaced awayfrom the top when said top is in closed position, adapted to drain oilfrom the body portion into the top when the can is inverted and tovafford a drainage receptacle for the top when the cans upright, themember being. apertured to provide a port for discharging oil vfrom thereceptacle into the body portion.

7. In a self-draining oil can having a body portion, `a ,neck portionand a detachable hollow top engageable with the neck portion, an annularmember secured to the neck portion and extending into the top when saidto is in closed position, adapted to drain oil Prom the body portioninto the top when the can is inverted and to rovide a drainagereceptacle for the top when the can is upright.
